Probably the most dramatic second of Oleksandr Usyk’s title protection in opposition to Daniel Dubois on Saturday in Wroclaw, Poland, got here within the fifth spherical.
Dubois landed a punch on Usyk’s beltline, just under the highest of his trunks, that put the champion down and harm him badly. Referee Luis Pabon dominated it a low blow and gave Usyk time to recuperate.
Usyk went on to place Dubois down twice and cease him in Spherical 9 to retain his belts.
Afterward, Dubois and his group members cried theft, insisting that the punch was authorized and that their man ought to’ve been topped a heavyweight champion.
Try the punch beneath and resolve for your self.
Dubois was robbed tonight. Oleksandr Usyk is a good man and an excellent champion however the 25-year-old Brit put him down with a clear and honest blow to the navel that was spun as a low blow. Bollocks. It wasn’t. Glory to Ukraine, however boxing embarrasses itself once more. #UsykDubois pic.twitter.com/QLP7awIjQ4
